Not really, it’s as representative as anything else out there, which reinforces my point. There is no common meaning for ‘Defund the Police’. You are just pissing in the wind.
I’ll go back to my earlier point. Wikipedia is a fine place to start to get a summary of all the different aspects of defunding the police, you’re focused on a single source when there isn’t a single definition of the movement overall.

Absolutely not for anything political related. It’s a well-known fact that the deep state authors many of that type of article. It’s great for official propaganda.
Yep, being aware of that is part of being able to read anything objectively. Every single thing you read has a political slant.
Wikipedia is great because it does reference out to sources, so you can easily find multiple sources and using critical thinking skills you can distill common themes across multiple different sources.
If you’re savvy, you can even look at the page edit history and the “talk” happening behind the article to get a better idea of what parts are disputed and which are generally accepted.

Even with everything said, wikipedia is generally a better single source than anything else.
At the very least, it’s always an acceptable starting point for understanding the concepts in a space.
